First, a ruling that allows parts of President Donald Trump’s travel ban to go forward . And then, a ruling on case involving a Missouri church, Trinity Lutheran in Columbia, that sought a state grant to put a soft surface on its preschool playground that was denied funding. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the church and could make it easier for religious institutions to seek state money for non-religious needs.

On Monday’s monthly Legal Roundtable segment, “St. Louis on the Air” convened a panel of law experts to discuss pressing issues of the day. On the top of our minds: Do those Rams lawsuit s have legs to stand on? After NFL owners voted on Jan. 12 to move the Rams from St. Louis to Los Angeles, a group of fans filed a lawsuit that owner Stan Kroenke and chief operating officer Kevin Demoff had deceived fans under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. Later, another group of personal seat licensees said they should be able to keep their seat licenses and season tickets even as the Rams relocate to Los Angeles. The guests joining the show each had their own take: Justin Hansford, J.D., Assistant Professor of Law, Saint Louis University "I think they may have a case," said Hansford.
